How We’re Watching the Oscars

Kyle Buchanan

Awards-season columnist

I spend all season taking the temperature of Hollywood to determine who the winners will be. On Sunday, I’ll be stationed on the red carpet for hours, and then will race inside to cover the show from my balcony seat.

Alissa Wilkinson

Times movie critic

I spend months writing about these films — I saw the first of the best picture nominees over a year ago! On Sunday, I’ll be in jeans behind my keyboard, updating our live blog, and once it’s all over, writing a post-mortem.

Brooks Barnes

Reporter covering all things Hollywood

This is my 17th year reporting on the Oscars for The Times, and I’ll be backstage with the winners. Black tie is mandatory, but it’s decidedly unglamorous as hundreds of reporters sit elbow to elbow, writing on deadline.

Melena Ryzik

Culture reporter

During my time as an awards-season columnist, I attended the ceremony five times (and have the gowns to show for it). This year, I will be at an Oscars party, writing posts for our live blog — bring on the snacks and commentary!

Mekado Murphy

Assistant film editor

I’ve been editing on Oscar nights since “The Departed” won best picture. I will be updating this year’s list of winners, editing and publishing stories for our live blog and keeping an eye out for any standout moments (or catastrophes).
